A Training Program: To Prepare Teachers to Supervise and Work Effectively With Paraeducator Personnel

While there is increased recognition among personnel developers and trainers of the need to prepare general and special education teachers and professionals from other disciplines to consult with each other, make decisions jointly, and share tasks and information, few efforts have centered on enhancing the unique relationships that exist between teachers and paraeducators. The curriculum content in this training program is designed to help teachers gain a better understanding of their new roles and prepare them to supervise and work more effectively with paraeducators in various education settings.
